Can a Fighter Aircraft Destroy a Satellite?

Have you ever wondered if a fighter aircraft could take down a satellite? Well, believe it or not, in 1985, a real F-15 jet did just that! But how exactly was this possible? We'll we're going to recreate this historic mission in Kerbal Space Program 2 and see if we can also pull it off!

[@BelgianDneprGuy2003]

10 years ago this was one of the first KSP channels I've watched but soon after lost track.. now 10 years later I find this channel again KZbin algorithm, I salute you, would've liked it to be under better circumstance though

[@astonwevgaming3454]

How the hell did you do that

[@heretic391]

Hmmm, to be honest it was a lot of editing and cuts. Otherwise, the video would go for 30 minutes with manuever nodes 😆

[@Madishmike]

Awesome build and really enjoyed your video. Bit scared now for multiplayer 😄

[@FyssinBath]

Looks like a movie! Well done🎉👏

[@MrBosszillaGaming]

this is great

[@heretic391]

Thank you so much :D It's honestly, one of the coolest historical events for space.

Pretty interesting content😊 - Meng

[@heretic391]

Thank you 😊

[@SmellyT03z]

I know I’m late commenting on this amazing video, especially after the heart breaking news recently especially for me, a console player of ksp1, but may I ask how did you aim it perfectly? Because I built my own Asat rocket and I am forced to use a albeit bad cluster boom for shrapnel because I’m always at least 70m away from my target

[@SmellyT03z]

Oh yeah and still I miss all the friggin time

[@broadsidedarth7801]

Can "a" fighter.

[@heretic391]

Thank you very much :D I need some sleep, bit sleep deprived lately :P

The Soyuz is not a satellite, mate! 😉

[@heretic391]

Oh no hahaha 😆 well...that's awkward

[@_T-ew1ul]

Anything that orbits a planet is a satellite 🛰️ 😅

[@sudantarescosmonautics9422]

@@_T-ew1ul well, my wrong, you are right. @heretic391 excuse me please.

[@heretic391]

​@sudantarescosmonautics9422 haha all good, I didn't know either 😅 I did get the missile diameter incorrect. Somehow I rounded 50.8cm up to 60cm...
